Crocodile Dundeethe legendary Australian saga of the 80s with Paul Hogan in the role of Michael J. Mick Dundee and Linda Kozlowski, and set in the Australian outback and in New York, was one of the most popular trilogies of its years. And this is also thanks to the presence of the fearsome crocodile that we have all come to know. He was played by Burta nearly 90-year-old saltwater specimen that, in the last few hours, left this world. To announce it, come on Instagramthe Australian reptile park Crocosaurus Cove, where it was located.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Burt, the iconic saltwater crocodile and star of the Australian classic Crocodile Dundee. Burt passed away peacefully at the weekend, estimated to be in his 90s, marking the end of an incredible era – it reads. Burt's life story is one of strength, resilience and a personality as bold as the Top End itself [territorio nord dell’Australia ndr]. Captured in the Reynolds River in the 1980s, Burt became one of the world's most recognized crocodiles, appearing in Crocodile Dundee and helping to shape Australia's image as a land of rugged natural beauty and impressively inspiring wildlife.
In 2008, Burt traveled to Crocosaurus Cove, where he became a fierce and charming ambassador for crocodile education. Known for his independent nature, Burt was a confirmed bachelor, an attitude he made clear during his first years here. His fiery temper earned him the respect of his keepers and visitors, as he embodied the raw, indomitable spirit of the saltwater crocodile.
Burt was truly one of a kind. It wasn't just a crocodile; it was a force of nature and a reminder of the power and majesty of these incredible creatures. While his personality could be challenging, it was also what made him so memorable and loved by those who worked with him and the thousands who visited him over the years. Visitors from around the world have marveled at its impressive size and commanding presence, especially during feeding time.
The Crocosaurus Cove team thanks everyone who visited Burt and helped celebrate his extraordinary life. As we mourn his loss, we are reminded of the vital role of wildlife in our shared history and the importance of preserving it for future generations. We plan to honor Burt's legacy with a memorial sign at the attraction, celebrating his extraordinary life and the stories and interactions he shared during his time at the park.
Hi Burt, thanks for stopping by Crocodile Dundee so epic!
